been driven “as an ox totb* slaughter.”
I. We are apt to blame young men for
being rtwtroTfri when we ought to blame the
influences that destroy them Society
slaughter* a great many young men by the
hehrwt: “You must keep up n)f—rilW;
whatever be your salary. you must dress as
well as othx you must wine and brand) as
many frkwto, you must smoke a* owtly
cigars, you must' give as expensive entertain
menta and you must live in as fashionable a
boarding liouse If you haven’t the money,
borrow. If you can’t borrow make a fato*
entry, or sultract hero and there a bill from
a bundle of bank bills; you will only hare to
make the deception a little while; in a few
months, or in a year or two. you can make
all right Nobody will be hurt by it; nobody
will 1-e the wiser. You yourself will nt be
damage i By that awful process a hundred
thousand men have boon .“laughtered for
time and slaughtered for eternity.
Suppose you borrow. There is nothing
wrong about borrowing money. There is
hardly a man in the house but lias sometimes
borrowed monev Vast estates has been built
cm a borrowed* dollar. But there are two
kinds ot borrowed money. Money borrowed
for the purpose of starting or keeping
up legitimate enterprise and expense,
and money borrowed to get that which
you can do without. The first
is right the other is wrong. If you have
money enough of your own to buy a ooat,
however plain, and then you borrow money
tor a dandy' itflt, you have taken tha first
revolution of the wheel down grade. Borrow
for the necessities; that may be well. Borrow
for the luxuries; that tips your prospects over
in the wrong direction.
The Bible distinctly says the borrower is
servant of the lender. It is a bad state of
things when you have to go down acme ot'. r
street to escape meeting some on*- whom you
owe. If young mm knew what is the despot
ism of l<etng in debt more of them would keep
out of i r What did debt do for
lx>rd Bacon, with a mind towering
above the centuries? It induced him
to take bribes And convict himself
as a criminal before all ages. What did debt
do for Walter Scott’ Broken hearted at
Abbotsford. Kept him writing until his
hand gave out in paralysis to keep the sheriff
away from his pictures and ‘■latuary. Better
for him if he bad minded the maxim which
he had chiseled over the fireplace at Abbots
ford; “Waste not, want not.
The trouble is. my friends, the people do
not under* -an 1 the ethics of going in debt,
and that if vou purchase goods with no ex
pectatii. oi pacing for them, or go into
debit which you cannot meet, you steal just
so much money. If I go into a grocer's store,
and I buy sugars and coffees an/1 meats, with
no capacity to pay for them and no inten
tion of paying' for them, I am more
dishonest than if I go into
the store. and when the grocers
fact} is turned the other way I fill my pockets
with the articles of merchandise ana carry
off a ham. In the one case I take the mer
chant's time, and I take the time of his mes
senger to transfer the goods to my house,
while in the other case 1 take none of the
time of the merchant, and I wait upon my
self, and I transfer the goods without aiiv
trouble to him. In other words, a sneak
thief is not so bad as a man who contracts
for debts he never expects to par.
Yet in all our cities there are families that
move every May day to get into proximity to
other grocers and meat shops and apotheca
ries. They owe everybody within half a mile
at where they now live, and next May they
will move into a distant part of the
city, finding anew lot of victims.
Meanwhile you, the honest family in
the new house, are bothered day by
day by the knocking at the door of
disappointed bakers, and butchers, and dry
goods dealers, and newspaper carriers, and
you are asked where your predeoessor is.
You do not know. It was arranged you
should not know. Meanwhile your predeces
sor has gone to some distant port of the city,
and the people who have anything to sell
have sent their wagons and stopped
there to solicit the ‘ valuable” custom of the
new neighbor, and he, the new neighbor,
with great complacency and with an air of
affluence, orders the finest steaks and the
highest priced sugars, and the best of the
canned fruits, and. perhaps, all the news
papers. And the debts will keep cm accumu
lating until he gets his goods on the 30th of
next April in the furniture cart.
Now, let me say, if there are any such per
sona in the house, if you have any regard for
your own conveniences, you ha/1 1 Matter re
move to some greatly distant part of the city.
It to too bad that, having baa all the trouble
of consuming the goods, you should also have
the trouble of being dunned! And let me say
that if you find that this pictures your own
photograph, instead of being in church you
ought to be in the penitentiary. No wonder
that 0 manj- of our merchant** fail in business.
They are swindled into bankruptcy by these
wandering Arabs, these nomads of city life.
They cheat the grocer out of the green aj>-
ples which make them sick, the physician
who attends their distress, and the under-'
taker who fits them out for departure from
the neighborhood where they owe everybody
when they pay the debt of nature, the only
debt they ever do pay!
Now our young men are coming uo in this
depraved state of commercial ethics, and 1
am solicitous about them. I want to warn
them against beine slaughtered on the sharp
edges of debt. You want many things you
have not, my young friends. Y6u shall ha v e
thm if you have patience and honesty and
industry. Certain lines of conduct always
lead out to certain successes.
There is a law which controls even those
things that seem haphazard. I have been
told bv those who have observed that it is
pownble to calculate just how many letters
will be sent to the Bead Letter office every
ymi through misdirection; that it is pos
sible to calculate just how many let
ters will be detained for lack of post
age stamps through the forgetfulness of
the senders, and that it is possible to tell just
how many people will fall in the streets by
slipping on an orange peel. In other words,
there are no accidents. The most insignifl
cant event you ever hoard of is the link be
tween two eternities—the eternity of the past
and the eternity of the future. Head tho
ngnt way, young man, and you will come
out at the right goal.
Bring me a young man and tell pae what
his physical health is. and what his mental
caliber, and what bis habits, and I will tell
you what will be his destiny for this world,
and his destiny for the world to come, and I
will not make live inaccurate prophecies out
of the five hundred. All this makes roe
solidtiouß in regard to young men, and I
want to make them nervous in regard to the
contraction of unpayable debts. 1 give
y°h® paragraph from my own experience.
My first settlement as pastor was in a vil
lage. My salary was SBOO and a parsonage.
The amount seemed enormous to me I said
to myself: “What I all this for one year?” I
was afraid of getting worldly under so much
P sperity! I resolved to invito all the con
gregation to my house in groups of twenty*
nvetsacli. *W6 IV-gan, aiid its they were the beet
congregation in all the world, and we
felt nothing was too good for them, we piled
all the luxuries on the table. I never com
pleted the undertaking. At the end of six
months I was in financial despair I found
what every young man learns In time to save
himself, or too laic, that you must measure
the sise of a man’s body Deforo you begin to
cut the cloth for his coat.
When a young man willfully and of choice,
having tho comforts of life, goes ipu. the
contraction of nnpavable debts he knows not
into wliat'Be goes. The creditors get artcr the
debtor, the pack of hounds in full cry, apd
alas! for the reindeer. They jingle his door
belt before he gets up in the morning,
they jingle his door boll after he has
gone to bed at night. They meet him as he
comes off his front stops. They send him a
postal card, or a letter, In curtest style, toll
ing him to pay up. They attach his goods.
They want cash, or a note at thirty days, or
a note on demand. They call him a knave.
They say he lies. Iney want him dis
ciplined at the church. They want
him turned out of the bank. They
come at him from this side, and from that
side, and from before, and from behind, and
from above, and from beneath, and he is in
sulted and gibbeted, and sued, and dunned,
and sworn at, until he gets the nervous dys
liepsia, gets neuralgia, gets liver complaint,
gets heart disease, gets convulsive disorder,
gets consumption.
Now he is dead, and you say: “Of
course they will let him alone.” Oh, nol
Now they are watchful to see whether there
are any unnecessary expenses at the

much more left to slaughter.
Now, what has become of the slaughtered?

fe with good health, end good education,
and a Christian example .< t him. and oppor
tunity of usefulness, who gathered ail hto
treasures and put them in one box, and then
dropped it into the sea.
- , .v. how is this wholesale slaughter to be
stepped? There to not a person in the house
but to interested in that question. Young
n an, arm yourself. The object of my ser
iion to to put a weapon in each of your handi
far your own defence. Wait not for Young
Men's Christian Associations to protect you.
or churches to protect you. Appealing to
God for help, take care of yourself.
First, have a room somewhere that you can
rail your own. Whether it be the back par
lor Of a fashionable bearding house, or a
room in the fourth story of a cheap lodging
I care not. Only have that one room your
fortress. Let not the diadpator or unclear
step over the threshold. If they com
up the long flight of stairs am’
knock al the door, meet them face to bfcce
and kindly yet firmly refuse them admit
tance. Have a few family portraits on the
wall, if you brought them with you from
your country home. Have a Bible on the
stand, if y a can afford it and yon play 01
onq, have an instrument of music—harp 01
flute, or cornet, or melodeon, or violin
</r piano. Every morning before vo
leave that room. pray. Every night aft*
you come home in that room, pray. M&k
that room your Gibraltar, your Sebastapo
your Mount Zion. Let no bad book or new
paper come into that room, any more than
you would allow a cobra to coil on your table.
1 ake care of yourself. Nobody else will take
care of you. Your help will not come up two
or three or four flights of stairs; your help
will come through the roof, down from
heaven, from that God who in the six tbon
sar.d years of the world’s history nevei
betrayed a young man who tried to be
good aud a Christian. Let me say in regard
to your adverse worldly circumstances, in
passing, that you ore on a level now with
those who are finally to succeed. Mark my
words, young man, and think of it thirty
y/ors from now. You will find that tiros*
who thirty years from now arc the million
{.ire* of this country, who are the orators of
the country, who are the poets of the coun
try, who are th* strong merchants of the
c untry, who are the great philanthropists of
the country—mightest in church and State-
are this morniug on a level with you, not a

There is no class of parsons that so stir my
sympathies as young men in great cities. Not
quite enough salary to live on, and all the
temptations that come from that deficit.
Invited on all hands to drink, and their
exhausted nervous system seeming to de

by the most of the clerks in the store
and most of the operatives in the factory.

against that young man fol-ty miles the hour,

with nothing but a broken oar to work with.

1 never shall forget a prayer I heard a
young man make some fifteen years ago. It
was a very short prayer, but it was a tremend
ous prayer: “Oh Lord help us. We find it
so very easy to do wrong and so hard to do
right. Lord, help us.” That prayer, I warrant
you, reached the ear of God, and reached
His heart. And there are in this house a
hundred men who have found out—a thou
sand young men, perhaps, who have found
out that very thing. It is so very easy to do
wrong, and so hard to do right.
I got a letter, only one paragraph of which
I shall read: “Having moved around some
what I have run across many young men of
intelligence, ardent striven after that wili-o'-
the wisp, fortune, and of one of these I would
speak. He was a young Englishman of
twenty-three or four years, who came to
New- York, where he had acquaintances,
with barely sufficient to keep him
a couple of weeks. He had
been tenderly reared; perhaps I should
say too tenderly, and was not used to earning
his living, and found it extremely difficult to
get any position that he was capable of fill
ing. After many v ain efforts ill this direc
tion he found himself on Sunday evening in
Brooklyn, near your church, with about
three dollars left of his small capital. lYovi
dencc seemed to lead him to your door, and
he determined to go in and hear you.
“He told me his aqiiit to heir you that
night was undoubtedly the turning point in
his life, for when ho went into your church
he felt desperate, but while listening to vour
discourse his bettor nature got the mastery.
I truly believe from wdiat this young man

his God whom he was so near leaving,”

Bnrmah and Barmans.
Tlio gross area of the country which
acknowledges the sway of the King of
Burrnah is al>out sixty-seven thousand
snare with a poimiati ui at
present estimated at three millions,
which is yearly being largely reduced
liv migrations into llritisli Bnrmah.
The religion is Buddhism mingled with
Shamanism the latter largely consist
ing in “the conciliation of spirits sup
l>osed to dwell in trees, rivers, stones
a::d other objects of nature.” l.duca
tion, to the extent of enabling each in
dividual to write his own name, is fair
ly wide-spread; but progress is checked
by a x ile system of slavery and the
claim of the sovereign to the service of
the whole adult population, enacted to
such an extent that no man can call
time or labor bis own. The ollicials
1 ceive no salaries, and consequently
justice is openly bought and sold,
l’rinces, Governors, and high officials
are allowed to collect the revenue
from districts or villages for their own
benefit, and the only limit to their de-
the endurance or the paying
power of tlio people. Every function
ary from the highest to the lowest,
s lueezes those whose necessities bring
them to ask the interference of liis
office. Gate-keepers, policemen—all
are alike.
It is much to the credit of the peo
ple that, Under such adverse circum
stances, a record can be made as to
the manners of the Burmaus. The
natives are extremely pleasant in man
ner, light-hearted, aud more independ
ent and courageous than other
races of Indo-China. They are not
so civilized as the Hindoos, they
have absolutely caste prejudices, and
in other respects they differ from
the natives of Hindostan so radically
that they have scarcely any character
istics in common. Probably the lib
erty of women readies in Burrnah a
height not attained in any other coun
try in the east, not even Japan. The
choice of marriageable girls is perfectly
free; a man’s wife acts for her husband
in almost any business capacity; women
appear in public unveiled, and their
intercourse with strangers is unre
stricted. They are born petty traders,
aud in many cases conduct a thriving
retail business while their male rela
tives are idling or gambling. Marriage
with the Burmans is purely a civil rite,
and though divorce livery easily ob
tained there is little immorality among
them, notwithstanding travelers' tales
to the contrary; and in some cases
after divorce the parties to the suit
promptly remarry and live together as
before. In spite of a great deal of im
providence, pauperism may be said to
Ire quite unknown; none are very rich
or very poor; a day’s work is easily
got, and the land is so bountiful that
the earnmgs of a day suffice for three
days’ living. There arc no poor law's,
the monasteries in reality forming a
gigantic system of relief, always open
to strangers or natives alike, without
any trouble about a “settlement. ”
The land is all regarded as belonging
to the crown, but any one may occupy

Las only to iuclose and cultivate it,
and it is his. If the boundary be not
maintained, or the inclosed space be
for several successive years unim

A Vevv Uaugled Wedding fling
‘ There is a constant demand lor novel
ties :n wedd.ng rings nowadays as weh
is in every other article of luxury,” at
. xpert jeweler Ea.d the other night,
“and we ha e to meet the demand oi
lee the very desirable custom of young
couples con emplating matrimony. This
season ins brought forth the most oiri
ous and be.iuti:u! wedding rings yet de
signed by ihc tr de. Now, isn’t this a
dandy?”
The expert held up an opal loop of
gold.
“Why, that’s just like any other ring.
The o ily di Terence is that it lias a
crooked scratch across the surface.”
“Ah, that's just where the beauty
l'es.” retorted the expert, “dust notice
this e lect.”
He th’ust a tiny pair of jeweler’s
p;iers into the inner edge of tiler ng op
posite what appeared to be the scratch,
pressed lightly on the need.e, aud in
stantly the I'.ng dropped into his hand
transformed -nto two tiny hoops of gold
looped together. The needle had split
the ring into two halves, each half hav
ing a lb:, broad edge
“There,” sad the jeweler, “you see
that the ring is moie elaborate than it
appears to be. Those flat surfaces are
designed for the p lrpose of being en
graved with any tender or romantic in
scription that the bride or groom and sire
to have placed upon the ring, aud they
will ( outa n ranch more tiian can be put
upon the inner surface of an ordinary
ring. After the engraving is done the
ring is closed again by fitting the two
loops together and locking them se urely
by a concealed catch fitted on the inner
edge of the hoops. It requires the
closes: scrutiny to discover, as you see,
that the ring is not an ordinary hoop of
gold. These rings have made a big hit.
One of them was used at a swell society
marriage in a Fifth avenue church the
other day. The society belle who was
the bride made the selection herself.”
“How much do they cost .”
“The cheapest bring $1", nnd the
value increases with the increase of
weight n the ring. But of course the
exquisite workmanship nnd the knowl
edge that the ring is something new and
fashionable compensates for the in
creased cost over the ordinary gold nup
tial symbol.”—_Ve Ycr.'c Sun.

The most stylish new spring mantle 9

Silk mull promises to be a favorite
material for late spring and sumrnei

A novelty in r.bbons is the new repped
ribbon with edges of gauze. It is very
pretty and makes up well.
Bog-wood or dull jet is the only proper
deep mourning jewelery, but cut- et,
black onyx aud crape stone may be used
after a few mouths.
Spring hats have wide brims and low

Black will remain the leading color
for headgear, with green next aud brown,
lead-gray, dull blue, old rose and cop
per shades about e juul as thirds.
In straw bonnets Milan braids are
likely to be most worn, but Tuscan,
Neapolitan and lace braids will lie more
in favor than for several years past.
Cloths in old rose, reed green, blue
gray and fawn color are being made up
as gowns for the buds and blossoms of
passage, now sojourning in the South.
The long gloves which accompany
short sleeved evening gowns are less
wrinkled on the arm than formerly, and
the weaier has a variety of shades of tun,
gray aud cream color to choose from.
The front of a novel dress bodice was
made of a large silk handkerchief, with
gold embroidered corners. It was fast
ened under the arms and knotted across
the bust, the corner being turned down

The combination of green and black
has become somewhat tiresomo it is so
common, and many ladies have substi
tuted blue, of the same vivid tone as the
green, to combine effectively with the
sable hue.
A pink silk gown finished recently for
a pretty young woman, just out, wai
trimmed about the top of the bodice and
down a broad side-panel of the skirt
with curling delicate green ostrich
plumes. I ong feathers decorated the

Cost of Grape Culture.
A California paper gives some inter
esting facts relative to the growing of
grapes. It says: The total expense of
cultivating an acre of grapes Is sls; the
curing and packing of an acre of grapes,
making 100 boxes of raisins, $5 . The
average price of raisins for the last four
years has heeu about SI.OO per box.
Putting the price at $1.50 her box for
the four grades, we have a total net
profit of SOS per acre. Many vineyards
<lo better than the above. Vineyards
have frequently been known to produce
grapes enough the tir3t year after plant
ing to pay expenses of cultivation. The
second year brings from S3O to SSO pet
acre, gross; third year, s‘3o to sij.

.jiiccored by Australian Cannibals.
The first expedition that crossed the
Australian continent was under the
leadership of my old friend Burke, say*
.1 correspondent of the Commercial Ad
c r tinr y with whom the name of Wills,
his second iu command, is inseparably
connected. It went out under the guid
ance of the Royal Society of Victoria,
and at the cost of the Victorian govern
ment. Burke formed his last depot at
Cooper’* Creek and left it la charge of
liis third officer, a German. He and
Wills, with two others, Reid and King,
then started for the coast of Carpentaria.
They met with no trouble from the na
tives until they approached their desti
nation, where the northern tribes be
came dangerous. But they gained their
object and returned. Reid died on the
way. The horses were killed and eaten,
and when the three men reached Coop
er’s Creek they found that the German
had deserted his post. They were too
weak to go further. They lived for two
weeks 011 provisions that had been left
under a tree, and then lay down to die.
At this juncture a tribe of natives came
along. They had never seen a white
man before, but recogi izing the needs
of Burke and his companions they pro
vided them with food, fish that they
caught near by, seeds, roots and herbs,
upon which alone their own subsistence
depended. They staid w ith Burke as
long as the supply lasted, and left only
when their own safety' rendered it nec
essary. We may oall such people suv
ages if we will, But if us much nobility
01 character were displayed in every-day
life among so-called civilized races I
opine that the world would run much
easier for many of us.
No Sunday Parades.
Secretary Endicott signalized his ac
cession to the head of the war depart
ment by an order limiting to four years
the details of officers as aides-de-camp.
Secretary Proctor is believed to have in
contemplation an ord.rwhich will create
hardly hss discussion, an I probably will
be received with wide-spreid favor. The
proposed reform attributed to him is, that
of abolishing Sunday dress parades in the
army. The subject is one that lias long
been mooted, bnt the change iu past
times has found opposition at army
headquarters and in other influential
places. Gen. Sherman was appealed to
in behalf of omitting the dress parade
on Sunday afternoons, but expressed
himself forcibly against this p'nn. Gen.
Sheridan also was quoted ns clinging to
the old custom handed down through
generations. On the other hand, Gen.
Schofield is said to favor the change,
and a strong advocate of it is found in
the new inspector general of the army,
Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, within whose
functions this matter would especially
come. The Sunday ceremonies will be

When the Shah of Persia last visited

explained that he had not a man ready

In Tfif.se Days when food adulteration to so
common, it is a comfort to find an article for

Baker & Co.’s breakfast cocoa is eminent in
this limited class. No chemi als are used in
its manufacture and it is absolutely pure. It
forms moreover a delicious and healthful
drink, os refreshing and more nutritious than
tea or coffee,and free from the injurious effects
that those beverages sometimes produce. And
it is very cheap withal. The house of Walter

Most women naturally look forward to matrimony as their pmp, I
sphere in life, but they should constantly bear in mind that a fair, r I
face, bright eves, and a healthy, well-developed form, are the best paii

functional irregularities peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty and attract- 1

Fatality of the Fidelity Hank Fail
ure.
It would seem aa though a kind of
grim fate hung over everybody couneo
tecl in any way with the unfortunate Fi
delity bank of Cinoinnnti, either with
its failure a couple of years ago cr tiio
subsequent proceodinys affecting it. It
was something like wfint has lieen called
“Guiteau’s curse,” that is supposed by
some to impend over the personages
participating in the trial of the presi
dent’s assassin, though in the case of
the Fidelity bank no one appears to
have strewn any curses around promis
cuously. In the first place, Benjamin
E. Hopkins, the president of the bank,
who was sentenced to seven years im
prisonment and recently pardoned,
died a few days after his release. E. L.
Harper, the vice-president, was given a
ten years’ sentence and went insane.
Amzi Baldwin, the cashier, con mit ed
suicide during the trial. Edward Kicks,
a clerk in the bank, died shortly a t--r
the trial. C. A. Hineh, another clerk,
broke liis leg during the trial. James
Siefert, the bank janitor, who carried
the books of the institution to and from
the court house each day during the
trial, ran directly in front of a moving
locomotive one day and was badly hurt.
Joseph Harrison, the office boy of the
